i think. bush pushed me yes. and headlines that now and then ukraine's president refutes accusations he was pressured by donald trump into investigating an election rival of the u.s. leader for a summary of a phone call between who's been released trump still to investigate the alleged corrupt activities of former u.s. vice president joe biden and his son that he now claims goes well beyond ukraine coming up we look into the allegations. and also the news this morning britain's prime minister faces few days after his suspension of parliament was ruled unlawful . to talk about.

this government in shape. good morning this is art international with me kevin i live for you this thursday from moscow with a half hour world news update 1st in one of the most closely watched sideline meetings at the u.n. general assembly the u.s. new cranium presidents faced reporters about that now infamous phone call that led to an impeachment inquiry being launched against donald trump u.s. democrats claim the president abused his power as the say by attempting to pressure the ukrainian leader into investigating a potential election rival of trump's in return for military aid firms for his part with him as a lenski on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly denies it all. i think you already did that nobody bullshit bush me yes and no kerry you know they were there for sure you had to do it is one of

the 4 well a summary of the phone call between the us new craney and president has been released by the white house trying to did ask selenski to investigate the business dealings of rival presidential candidate joe biden and democrats continue their calls to impeach the president however in the summary there's no mention of threats to cut military aid there's a lot of talk about biden's son that biden stop the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about it so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great i will have mr giuliani give you a coup and i move so you're going to have attorney general barr call and we will get to the bottom of it i'm sure you will figure it out at least of the know that called by the white house confirms this behavior which undermines the integrity of our election the dignity of any president say and our national security the iterate . for the release of the full transcript like any mafia boss the president didn't

need to say that's a nice country you have it be a shame if something happened to it because that was clear from the conversation there is no quid pro quo necessary to betray your country or your oath of office even though many read this as a quid pro quo i'm not concerned whether it is a quid pro quo or not president trump abuse the powers of his office and be trade the public trust for personal political gain when all that said this morning donald trump still wants to investigate the alleged corruption ukraine by as potential election rival joe biden but the u.s. president's accusations no extend beyond just one country. from joe budden and there's. one of the millions of dollars that have been quickly and easily taken out of ukraine and china when he was vice president and i think they should have transparency for the one trumps doing something there's

a naysaying liberal media following close behind despite president trump and rudy giuliani's repeated allegations against the bidens no evidence of wrongdoing tied to his son hunter biden's ukraine business has actually been found the allegations against him which which have indeed been been proven baseless at least to this point these are proven claims that the president is making above right well he's making up to the allegations against the vice president i think that's really important to understand so does biden and his family have a squeaky clean track record let's look at the facts in 2014 biden was in charge of washington's policy stance for ukraine and for some reason his son was put on a ukrainian oil company's board of directors around that same time when a prosecutor launched an inquiry into that weird coincidence biden had this to say and i went over. the $1230.00 time key event and i was good supposed to

announce that there is another $1000000000.00 loan guarantee and i got a commitment from poroshenko and from yachts and you know they would take action against the state prosecutor and they did so they sent their walking out. and i'm not going to we're not going to give you $2000000000.00 shortly after the prosecutor was fired and the inquiry dropped biden said neither had to do with one another just another coincidence but let's go back to biden's 2013 trip to china for talks with president cheesing paying 10 days after that a subsidiary of the bank of china cut a deal with joe son hunter to form a $1000000000.00 joint investment fund another bill. dollar coincidence then there was 2011 when he oversaw u.s. troop withdrawal from iraq that same year joe's younger brother sealed a $1500000000.00 deal to build homes in you guessed it iraq there's

plenty of money for everyone if this project goes through and that mountain of benjamin's 2 was only a coincidence it seems when you're related to the former vice president things just tend to work out and joe's got no problem with it mr vice president your take on that was a conflict of interest there was a clear conflict of interest but you heard him people move along nothing to see here the whole thing is about supposedly trump saying hey we give you a lot of money you need to investigate biden it didn't come out that way but you know in fact in march. 2018 the u.s. senate sent a letter to the ukrainian prosecutor general saying if you don't investigate trump there's going to be trouble so there's actually a record of the senate explicitly mentioning us a and threatening that aid if they don't investigate trump so this is another example of the democrats accusing trump of what they have actually been doing. an

unrepentant borers job since returned to britain to face and pays off for the u.k. supreme court ruled the suspension of parliament unlawful the prime minister face a bout of criticism them. thank you. sorry to people saying the prime minister should have done the only little thing and resign. knowing the truth and shocks of having very. very how this matter should be resolved this column which is very good. these government stands in the shade tendering the legal advice to him. monica i'm not even able to uphold that most basic but most important of principles abiding by the rule of law this government says that we need an if you like to go priority you should try to shut down this house side. by side democratic

assembly brought out alive right here in our party like this i really don't like this this prime minister to talk about. it like this right. well meantime the u.k.'s national crime agency for no proof of wrongdoing by the brics campaign group live dot edu and one of its fundraisers a bank she may recall the name they stood accused by the electoral commission of receiving donations for the bricks and campaign from abroad with more on it kay partridge this morning. britain's national crime agency says it's dropping an investigation into arran banks one of the biggest donors behind the bracks referendum campaign the n.c.a.a. looked into potential offenses concerning $8000000.00 pounds worth of funding it was claimed banks wasn't the true source but the inquiry found banks illegally took out a loan from a company theo and so he could give the money to the brits that campaign the n.c.a.a.

investigation has concluded that mr banks was legally entitled in his capacity as an individual to release these funds to the better for the country limited by instructing another of his company's rock services ltd to make the transactions on his behalf but it's worth noting the n.c.a.a. felt the need to highlight the hype surrounding the case the investigation has been subject to press and social media commentary the n.c.a.a. has not received any evidence to suggest that mr banks and his companies received funding from any 3rd party to fund the loans or that he acted as an agent on behalf of a 3rd party why is this important because our in banks was the girl antihero of trump russia kalu. during the breaks at campaign around the time he met the russian ambassador to the u.k. a few times as well as russian businessmen and as is often assumed by associating with russians you must be a russian agent something banks. the crimea you know what the police are going to

investigate lunch with the russian ambassador butler university but the media seem eager to find a russian connection so we travel to south africa to find one they also filled russian opposition figures with no knowledge of the case actually brought up his russian wife mr banks is a perfectly good reason to visit russia whenever he wants his family his free children by his russian wife in 2015 aaron banks tried to raise money in russia to invest in his mines here in south africa but it's usual for such people to sign for money or services through intermediaries and receive a preferred political decision is the result in this particular case they're interested in direct and surprisingly they try to connect banks with donald trump and felt it was newsworthy to discuss banks some time visit to transcribe and publish pictures of it to controversial backers of the breaks movement were guests last year at donald trump's mar

a lago club are in banks and the wigmore known as the bad boys of bricks visited the palm beach club in april according to a review by the palm beach post of instagram post tagged at the spot mainstream politicians also pushed him on the issue so much so banks walked out of a select committee meeting as m.p.'s questions on the exit and russia ran late. because you know you can see this isn't just one. story it is that it was it is it is which is the n.c.a.a. found no evidence banks had committed any criminal offenses he says the allegations against him were part of a political witch hunt with claims of trump russia collusion reports of banks russia collusion were apparently founded and perpetuated on fear rather than proved . the decision to leave the european union was something so monumental that it impacted the elites in britain both in the politics in civil service and in business and media that they needed to find the enemies they needed to find

a way of discrediting the whole campaign and so the 1st thing they did was start to attack the donors to the campaign to leave and of course mr sharon banks and the leave means leave movement came into the firing line of their anger without a doubt this was a witch hunt it was a witch hunt against those who campaigned for brix it like myself and the leaders of the movement it was a campaign to discredit those who donated it and they also tried to discredit it by saying that there was collusion from other nations such as russia that there was russian money behind mr r. and banks and all of this was to discredit the movement discredit the referendum it was a disgrace and should be something that's looked into by a royal commission in my view in the way that we look after our elections in the future. facebook shut down a popular craney and run pro trump aides have posted more than

a 1000000 followers saying it's violated the platform's policies the i love america facebook page has been spreading content about patrick is it that trains guns and dogs with a message of support to the u.s. president and his policies but the means of also reportedly been littered with misinformation to the deleted site had no standing audience reach exceeding many prominent us media companies in shares and likes and comments the journey is that 1st brought facebook's attention to the violations it's just the tip of the iceberg . i love america as part of a complex network of ukrainian run facebook pages that seek to amass large audiences and then funnel them to rabidly pro trump pages the reach of this ukrainian network of facebook pages is absolutely extraordinary. the diploma student luden believes tech giant should for a stricter regulation because they do affect people's right to free speech this is a new frontier really for you know for companies like this we were kind of making

these decisions as we go 6 it seems like are these public utilities or are they just social media companies and these are decisions that we're having to make as we go but as we start to see them impacting americans and the rights of free speech even abroad i think we have to make decisions about if they are influencing people's rights to free speech or the ability even for people to express their free speech rights then maybe we have to look at them more like they are. some sort of public utility with need of regulation sort of like any other monopoly it's known for to the morning moscow time this is a very good morning to you coming up new documents reveal the f.b.i. has been harvesting personal data of vast amounts from institutions like banks and even universities covering it.

join me every thursday on the elec so i will be sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you there.

the morning classified f.b.i. documents obtained by the new york times have shed light on some of the bureau's covert activities there a veil that multiple court orders have been used to collect personal data from far more companies than was previously thought. the demands can scoop up a variety of information including user names locations ip addresses and records of purchases they don't require a judge's approval and usually come with a gag order leaving them shrouded in secrecy fewer than 20 entities most of them tech companies have ever revealed that they for received the subpoenas known as

national security letters. but the new documents show that the f.b.i. has interest spread far beyond such tech companies the talk about banks credit agencies cell phone companies even universities to receiving hundreds of national security demands those letters been the subject of controversy for decades issued says the 1980 s. the f.b.i. is required to show clear reasons for said the orders like the target was for instance an agent of a foreign power it's been downgraded to anything linked to information on terrorism or counterterrorism or leak investigation the f.b.i. has yet to comment on the revelation now but previously said it is for the safety of citizens and they only investigate if there is a suspicion of a threat we spoke to n.s.a. whistleblower william binney about it and he believes the agency's actions are legal. the national security letters are issued by individual federal agents of the f.b.i. and they simply couldn't say right away or say give you all the data on all your

people and they've been after all data from the beginning to natural going to every executive order it went to triple 3 which they're using as a basis also to collect bought data across the buyer up it lying around the world inside the united states still so it's a matter of they're employed people every big mess there that's what they're after all that heat on everybody so they can monitor anyone for any criminal activity or use it against them to pressure then to do anything they want but basically i call this not relation control that's what it is in terms of using leverage to get people to do what you want them to do and when you have knowledge about people of this. extern there easy to happen. a painstaking process of removing land mines and booby traps that started in the syrian city of qom shaken that was liberated from islamic state nearly a month ago the move part of a large scale restoration campaign so the people can safely return their conscious

an english lady who simply knew. feeling hurt in that little. welcome to the alex adventure where we once again ask our team of top commentators to attempt the impossible to forecast what's next for bricks that over the summer they performed here medicals and anticipating both the controversial probing of parliament the legislative the sponson the commons and the prime minister's attempt to dash to the polls how do you stop a government determined to go out with

a no deal the top spot happens. all they theoretically united to stop the procuring a part of and to stop no deal yes and i think the sense of that will intensify over the coming weeks rather than the opposite however even mystic meg would have been hard put to forsee that supreme court deliberations would be the talk of the steamy at the top justices decided it was either to back the scottish courts and the former 20 prime minister and declaring the cut in 20 prime minister's actions unlawful the judgment when it came was unanimous and devastating the court is bound to conclude. that the decision to advice a magistrate judge her own parliament was unlawful probation was also void and of no effect parliament has not been for wrote this is the unanimous judgment

of all 11 justices. it is for parliament and in particular the speaker and the lord speaker to decide what to do next to consider these remarkable events alex turns back to our panel of commentators in the blue corner we have peter oborne nobody knows more than this man about the inner workings of the conservative party now he's in number 10 he's seeing the warnings from the civil service about the calamity of no deal it's an absolute nightmare mr bob johnson those that i've had reports i've spoken to senior civil servants i mean go visit goes one with fear now they know that if they go for no deal it's going to cause utter chaos and in the yellow corner we turn to form a liberal presidential candidate lembit opec has it all to meet finally find a formula to shift off the 2 equalization please my frustration is there's a referendum and nobody said oh well best of 3 and we're heading down that path lib

dems in fairness totally consistent have been for 3 years they've actually become more militant and they remain they want to now say if joe sensor becomes prime minister she probably won't but if she did they wouldn't even have a referent of that simply junk remain so there's somewhere for remain as to go but i just don't think that fits comfortably with those of us who thought we had one referendum and democrats and liberals would respect the outcome and we take the tempter from north of the border from national columnist and broadcaster ruth wishart the courts brought the scottish dimension to breaks it back to the center stage by ruling in favor of the case against probation led by s.n.p. m.p. 2 of the chatty cathy are scottish politics going to be the real story of this epic autumn briggs' isn't just damaging to the u.k. as a whole briggs is damaging to scotland they're all kinds of coakley she's done about the job losses lately in scotland the last coca least i think was 100000 jobs lost so i think the scottish government has taken the view that for in the short term at
